Now why on EARTH would you expect your AVERAGE trooper
to rise to the standards achieved by certain EXCEPTIONAL
people?
I naturally will conclude that you have first elevated yourself to these
standards and that you are refusing to go to work and pay taxes etc etc.
to resist this regime you so passionately disagree with. Thought not.
Hells bells you DON'T disagree THAT much! Am I right?
What the heck is to duck about "volunteered"?
When people volunteer a very large percentage are hoping and praying that
they NEVER have to go to war and NEVER have to kill ANYONE.
Sure they understand that they might be called on ...... and if so they hope
it will be for a just cause ...... but ultimately they are volunteering
to serve a higher authority......a higher authority we (collectively)
vote for.
To be able to pick and choose which causes you will/will not act upon
could make a mockery of many of our institutions (and not just the military).
I think deep down you know this. But its masked by your desire to somehow
throw some culpability onto the shoulders of ANYONE associated with this war in ANY way.
Tell you what....when they volunteer they definitely don't hope to be treated
like pariahs by ingrates whose freedoms to be assholes they are protecting.
